Specialty Teams

Specialty teams provide surgeries in the areas of orthopedics, obstetric fistula, and urology.

Nueve de cada 10 personas en países de ingresos bajos a medianos carecen de acceso a la atención quirúrgica. Penosamente, un estimado de la tercera parte de las muertes a nivel mundial se atribuyen a condiciones médicas que se pudieron haber resuelto con una cirugía. Estas muertes superan en número a todas las muertes combinadas por el VIH/SIDA, malaria y tuberculosis.

World Medical Mission specialty teams aim to provide both physical and spiritual healing through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician. In collaboration with partner mission hospitals, we offer life-transforming surgery in the areas of orthopedics (acute and chronic, trauma, and injury), obstetric fistula, and urology.

"…a fin de capacitar al pueblo de Dios para la obra de servicio, para edificar al cuerpo de Cristo" Efesios 4:12

Skill and Knowledge Transfer

Teams work in partnership with mission hospital staff to exchange knowledge and skill sets. Volunteers will impart expertise in their area of surgical specialty, and mission hospital staff will impart their expertise in performing surgery in an austere environment.

Donation of Medical Equipment

The specialty team will leave medical equipment and/or supplies to support the new specialized surgical service of the mission hospital.

Expansion of Medical Network

New relationships will be established to support mission hospitals in the future. Ideally, specialty team members will be available for professional correspondence, consultation, and return visits if requested.
